I have been a Tim Buckley fan for a long, long time. I just heard, though, for the first time, the ** Dream Letter Live in London 1968** recording. It is incredible record. His voice was so beautiful - what an instrument. How wonderfully expressive and emotive his singing was.
I still listen to ** Buzzin’ Fly** at least once a week. That song came out about 33 years ago!
What about you?
Great singer. Fantastic voice. Much better than his overly hyper son, even though he’s pretty good by himself.
“Buzzin’ Fly” is a fantastic song and Happy Sad and Goodbye and Hello are great albums. Sadly, Starsailor is not currently available in the UK.
I just realized that I typed “hyper” instead of “hyped”. 
My sister’s into Jeff Buckley. She played me a few of his songs, and I liked them. I never heard any of his father’s stuff, though.
Jeff Buckley is one of the most important and influential voices of the last 15-20 years. He took some interesting vocal experiments devised by his father and brought them to complete artistic realization. Where Tim Buckley often sounds tentative and distracted, Jeff sounds fully committed and sure; where Tim’s voice is thin and wavery, Jeff’s is full and strong. Tim’s fluorishes sometimes trail off into little moments of embarrassing floridity, while Jeff’s always land firmly in the right, the only, the perfect place.
It’d be impossible to “over hype” Jeff Buckley; however, it might be possible to be unfamiliar enough with his work, and bitter enough about one’s own failures in life, to dismiss his music as “over hyped.”
After umpteen years, I finally snagged a copy of <B>Blue Afternoon</B> (LP) from eBay a few months ago. “I Must Have Been Blind” is one of the most hauntingly gorgeous things ever recorded.
